After dinner and cleaning up, Lu Yichen and Shitou left together. Luo Qiao entered the space to prepare to make the bedding from the city. They should prepare it in advance in case she couldn't make it back someday and could still use it while living in the city.

At the secretary's home, Zhang Dezheng's wife Wang Chunni was scolding her daughter: "You are a girl, why do you gossip with others? Listen to what people are saying about you now.

Did Luo Qiao provoke you or offend you? You have ruined her reputation. She doesn't know it, but if she knew, our family would be in trouble.

The rest of the Zhang family remained silent. The secretary looked at his daughter with some regret and said, "Qiaoyan, if this is all you can learn from your education, you might as well not go to school, so that you don't ruin the Zhang family one day."

Zhang Qiaoyan looked up at her father in disbelief: "Dad, I just said a few words to Luo Qiao, why are you making a big fuss about it? I'm your daughter."

Shang Hongying, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, snorted softly. She couldn't stand her sister-in-law the most. She always felt that she was the only girl in the village who went to high school, and her nose was almost turned up to the sky.

Now that Luo Qiao has gone to high school in the city, she can't stand it anymore. These days, she has been talking about Luo Qiao's faults outside. She thinks she did nothing wrong, but all the women in the village are making fun of her these days.

People didn't refute her to her face, but actually said that she had a bad character behind her back. If her father-in-law wasn't the branch secretary, someone would have stood up and said it out loud.

Zhang Dezheng said: "How could I, Zhang Dezheng, give birth to such a brainless daughter like you? You slander Luo Qiao every day. What can you get? What do you want? Luo Qiao can still go to high school in the city, but you, your parents and brothers are all in this village. Not only will you lose your reputation, but also the reputation of the Zhang family.

Are you deaf? Can't you hear what outsiders say about you, me, and the Zhang family? If this gets to Luo Qiao's ears, do you think your father can still sit in the position of Party Secretary?"

Wang Chunni was so angry that she walked over and punched her daughter. Zhang Qiaoyan cried in pain.

Some said angrily: "Mom, you want to beat me to death."

Wang Chunni said, "If beating someone to death is not against the law, I would really want to beat you to death. Look at the trouble you have caused these days, and listen to how others laugh at our family, saying that you have bad character, can't stand others being better than you, have a vicious heart, and bully others because your father is the party secretary."

Shang Hongying also stood up and said, "Qiaoyan, your parents are doing this for your own good. What you said can't hurt Luo Qiao, but it will ruin your reputation, your father's, and our Zhang family's reputation."

Zhang Qiaoyan was already feeling unhappy about being lectured by her parents, and now her sister-in-law also stood up to lecture her. After all, she is still a high school student, and how dare she, who hasn't even graduated from elementary school, come and lecture her.

He glared at his sister-in-law fiercely: "My parents are still alive. Who do you think you are to teach me a lesson? You haven't even finished elementary school, and you have the nerve to teach a high school student like me."

Shang Hongying was not going to do it anymore and threw all the dishes and chopsticks that were about to be sent to the kitchen into the yard: "Yes, my family is poor and can't afford to send me to school. You can do it, right?"
